Parks and Recreation - Season Two

Sharon and I finished watching season two of Parks and Recreation. We finished watching season one in August of 2023.

Season two has twenty-four episodes. It aired from September 17, 2009 to May 20, 2010.

Like the first season, it focuses on Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her staff on the parks and recreation department of the fictional Indiana town of Pawnee. The season stars Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Paul Schneider, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Pratt. It also featured guest appearances by Louis C.K., Megan Mullally, Fred Armisen, Will Arnett, Justin Theroux and John Larroquette.

Rob Lowe and Adam Scott appear in the last two episodes of the season. Scott left his starring role on the Starz comedy series Party Down to join Parks and Recreation.

The second season of Parks and Recreation is a huge leap forward from the first season. The characters are more developed, the jokes are funnier, and the stories are more engaging.

One of the biggest improvements in season two is the development of the characters. Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) is still the same optimistic and enthusiastic government worker, but she's also more confident and assertive. Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) is still the curmudgeonly libertarian, but there is a softer side of him as he develops a friendship with Leslie.

The stories in season two are also more engaging. The show explores some more serious topics, such as government bureaucracy and political corruption, but it always does so with a sense of humor.

I recommend season two!
